The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has announced plans to reinstate 24-hour cargo clearance as part of its ongoing modernisation initiative, codenamed B’Odogwu.

Speaking at a stakeholder engagement in Apapa on Monday, the Deputy Comptroller General (DCG) in charge of ICT and Modernisation, K.I. Adeola, highlighted the project’s transformative potential for Nigeria’s trade ecosystem.

The B’Odogwu project, approved in May 2022 and ratified by the Federal Executive Council in April 2023, is structured as a 20-year public-private partnership (PPP) between the NCS and the Trade Modernisation Project unit.

Adeola stressed that the initiative goes beyond technological deployment, aiming to build a comprehensive system that enhances trade facilitation and boosts revenue generation.
